Would Ed Miliband be a good chancellor?

Would Ed Miliband be a good chancellor?

As our first special guest on NAO, John McTernan makes the case for a soft-left duopoly in Downing Street and we all disagree all over again on net zero policy - even more fiercely. We debate Badenoch's decision to "purge" Gavin Barwell and whether party leaders are wise to set policy tests. Plus: the implications for access to our politicians of Ann Widdecombe's dreadful murder.

Is this Reform's trickiest moment?

In this week's special Q&A edition, the team grapples with the Farage question. What would happen to Reform without its leader? And what will an incoming Burnham cabinet imply for opposition parties? And what did we get wrong in the last two years? Plus: Steve promises to pop back in future episodes and NAO looks forward to summer special guests.

Is Burnham right to max-out on devolution?

For this week's three-part "Tapas" edition, the team serves up a debate on the PM-in-waiting's first big speech, chews over the rows behind Starmer's Defence Investment Plan, and looks at the fight for the right as Farage and Badenoch jostle in Burnham's shadow.

Is Andy Burnham ready?

The new MP for Makerfield took his seat in the Commons on Monday. By the middle of next month he will almost certainly be prime minister. Does he have a programme for government? Has he had enough time to prepare for the mountainous challenges ahead? Do the wider electorate know enough about their next prime minister? For everyone’s sake, the answers need to be yes. Here at least are the answers from our team.

Will PM Andy Burnham call an early general election?

The ascent of the new MP for Makerfield looks unstoppable this weekend. With the parties of the right divided, and the limitations of the 2024 Labour manifesto putting restrictions on Andy Burnham's ability to deliver real change, the NAO team explore the likely new PM's options. Not least, will he call an early general election? Can he win back voters and rebuild a coalition of interests on the left?
